This easy and tasty “what’s left in my kitchen for dinner tonight?” panini sandwich was WOW. It’s perfect for using leftover chicken and will satisfy all appetites. The secret is mixing all the ingredients together versus layering. Every bite is creamy and crunchy and full of herbs. I used oregano and parsley because that’s what I had on hand. You could use chives or thyme and I think it would be equally as good. If you don’t have a panini press you can make this on the stove and weigh it down with a plate or another pan.
Either way, you will have an easy and delicious weeknight meal.
